This book focuses on the departure of Britain's 'surplus' women to
Australia and New Zealand organised by Victorian British female
emigration societies. Starting with an analysis of the surplus of
women question, it then explores the philanthropic nature of the
organisations (the Female Middle Class Emigration Society, the
Women's Emigration Society, the British Women's Emigration
Association, and the Church Emigration Society). The study of the
strict selection of distressed gentlewomen emigrants is followed by
an analysis of their marketing value, and an appraisal of women's
imperialism. Finally, this work shows that the female emigrants
under study partook in the consolidation of the colonial
middle-class.
